Model: Tapo C325WB  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.4

The motion and person detection on the Tapo C325WB often misinterprets tree shadows as movement or even as people.

  1. It would be very helpful to have a dual detection option — meaning the alarm siren would only be triggered if both motion and person detection are activated simultaneously or within a short time frame. This could greatly reduce false alarms caused by environmental factors like moving shadows.

  2. Another useful feature would be the ability to switch the camera to Privacy Mode for a specific duration, after which it would automatically return to monitoring mode. This would allow for temporary privacy without needing to manually reactivate the camera.

Hi @maf2a,

 

I can absolutely agree on the 2nd point.

It would be useful in case of all cameras.

So, this should be posted in feature request group of threads.

 

While it's not available, I use automation set that turns off the privacy mode on one of my C520WS camera at sunset.

 

I don't know if you also tried the smart actions to switch on/off the privacy mode but enabling this mode for a specified time only can be more user friendly and easily accessible for users as well who don't want to play with automated actions.
